RE: Please school a newbee on Archery
As evewryone else has said, go to a proshop, get fitted up properly (draw length and a poundage you can manage properly) and shoot as many bows as you can get your hands on. What feels good to one person may not feel right to another. I like the Hoyts and BowTechs but you may not. There are a lot of good packages out there for a solid entry level set up like the BowTech TomKat for $550 or some of the PSE line for around $350. The most important thing is going to be getting a bow that fits YOU, not me or anyone else here. The only way to do that is to get out and get your hands on them. Happy hunting!
